Napagtagumpayan Natin ang Sanlibutan
5 Ang bawat sumasampalataya na si Jesus ang siyang Cristo ay anak ng Diyos. At ang sinumang umiibig sa ama ay umiibig din sa anak. 2 Ito ang palatandaang iniibig natin ang mga anak ng Diyos: kung iniibig natin ang Diyos at tinutupad ang kanyang mga utos, 3 sapagkat(A) ang tunay na pag-ibig sa Diyos ay ang pagtupad sa kanyang mga utos. Hindi naman napakahirap sundin ang kanyang mga utos, 4 sapagkat napapagtagumpayan ng mga anak ng Diyos ang sanlibutan; at nagtatagumpay tayo sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya. 5 Sino ang nagtatagumpay laban sa sanlibutan? Ang sumasampalataya na si Jesus ang Anak ng Diyos.
Ang Patotoo tungkol kay Jesu-Cristo
6 Si Jesu-Cristo ang naparito sa pamamagitan ng tubig at ng dugo. Hindi sa pamamagitan ng tubig lamang kundi sa pamamagitan ng tubig at dugo. Ang Espiritu ang nagpapatotoo tungkol dito, sapagkat ang Espiritu ay katotohanan. 7-8 Tatlo ang nagpapatotoo [sa langit: ang Ama, ang Salita, at ang Espiritu Santo; at ang tatlong ito'y iisa. At mayroong tatlong nagpapatotoo sa lupa:][a] ang Espiritu, ang tubig, at ang dugo; at ang tatlong ito ay nagkakaisa. 9 Kung pinaniniwalaan natin ang patotoo ng mga tao, higit nating dapat paniwalaan ang patotoo ng Diyos, at ito ang patotoo ng Diyos tungkol sa kanyang Anak. 10 Ang sumasampalataya sa Anak ng Diyos ay nagtataglay ng patotoong ito sa kanilang puso. Ang sinumang hindi sumampalataya sa Diyos ay ginagawang sinungaling ang Diyos, sapagkat hindi siya naniwala sa patotoo ng Diyos tungkol sa kanyang Anak. 11 At(B) ito ang patotoo: ipinagkaloob sa atin ng Diyos ang buhay na walang hanggan at ito'y makakamtan natin sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Anak. 12 Kung ang Anak ng Diyos ay nasa isang tao, mayroon siyang buhay na walang hanggan; ngunit kung wala sa kanya ang Anak ng Diyos ay wala siyang buhay na walang hanggan.
Ang Buhay na Walang Hanggan
13 Isinusulat ko ito sa inyo upang malaman ninyo na kayong sumasampalataya sa Anak ng Diyos ay may buhay na walang hanggan. 14 May lakas-loob tayong lumapit sa kanya dahil alam nating ibibigay niya ang anumang hingin natin kung ito'y naaayon sa kanyang kalooban. 15 At dahil alam nating pinapakinggan nga niya tayo, alam din nating ibinibigay niya ang bawat hinihiling natin sa kanya.
16 Kung makita ninuman na ang kanyang kapatid ay gumagawa ng kasalanang hindi hahantong sa kamatayan, ipanalangin niya ang kapatid na iyon sa Diyos na magbibigay sa taong iyon ng bagong buhay. Ito'y para sa mga kapatid na ang kasalanan ay hindi humahantong sa kamatayan. May kasalanang hahantong sa kamatayan, at hindi ko sinasabing idalangin ninyo ang sinumang gumagawa nito. 17 Ang lahat ng gawaing di matuwid ay kasalanan, ngunit may kasalanang hindi hahantong sa kamatayan.
18 Alam nating ang mga anak ng Diyos ay hindi nagpapatuloy sa pagkakasala, sapagkat iniingatan sila ng Anak ng Diyos, at hindi sila maaaring galawin ng diyablo.
19 Alam nating tayo'y sa Diyos, kahit na ang buong sanlibutan ay nasa kapangyarihan ng diyablo.
20 At nalalaman nating naparito na ang Anak ng Diyos at binigyan niya tayo ng pang-unawa upang makilala natin ang tunay na Diyos, at tayo'y nasa tunay na Diyos, sa kanyang Anak na si Jesu-Cristo. Siya ang tunay na Diyos at buhay na walang hanggan.
21 Mga anak, lumayo kayo sa mga diyus-diyosan.

1 John 5
New International Version
Faith in the Incarnate Son of God
5 Everyone who believes(A) that Jesus is the Christ(B) is born of God,(C) and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.(D) 2 This is how we know(E) that we love the children of God:(F) by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands.(G) And his commands are not burdensome,(H) 4 for everyone born of God(I) overcomes(J) the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.(K)
6 This is the one who came by water and blood(L)—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.(M) 7 For there are three(N) that testify: 8 the[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 9 We accept human testimony,(O) but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God,(P) which he has given about his Son. 10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony.(Q) Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar,(R) because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life,(S) and this life is in his Son.(T) 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.(U)
Concluding Affirmations
13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God(V) so that you may know that you have eternal life.(W) 14 This is the confidence(X) we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.(Y) 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know(Z) that we have what we asked of him.(AA)
16 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life.(AB) I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death.(AC) I am not saying that you should pray about that.(AD) 17 All wrongdoing is sin,(AE) and there is sin that does not lead to death.(AF)
18 We know that anyone born of God(AG) does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one(AH) cannot harm them.(AI) 19 We know that we are children of God,(AJ) and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.(AK) 20 We know also that the Son of God has come(AL) and has given us understanding,(AM) so that we may know him who is true.(AN) And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.(AO)

1 John 5
International Children’s Bible
Faith in the Son of God
5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is God’s child. The person who loves the Father also loves the Father’s children. 2 How do we know that we love God’s children? We know because we love God and we obey his commands. 3 Loving God means obeying his commands. And God’s commands are not too hard for us. 4 Everyone who is a child of God has the power to win against the world. It is our faith that wins the victory against the world. 5 So the one who conquers the world is the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
6 Jesus Christ is the One who came with water[a] and with blood.[b] He did not come by water only. He came by both water and blood. And the Spirit says that this is true. The Spirit is the truth. 7 So there are three witnesses:[c] 8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood. These three witnesses agree. 9 We believe people when they say something is true. But what God says is more important. And he has told us the truth about his own Son. 10 Anyone who believes in the Son of God has the truth that God told us. Anyone who does not believe makes God a liar. He does not believe what God told us about his Son. 11 This is what God told us: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life. But the person who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
We Have Eternal Life Now
13 I write this letter to you who believe in the Son of God. I write so that you will know that you have eternal life now. 14 We can come to God with no doubts. This means that when we ask God for things (and those things agree with what God wants for us), then God cares about what we say. 15 God listens to us every time we ask him. So we know that he gives us the things that we ask from him.
16 Suppose someone sees his brother in Christ sinning (sin that does not lead to eternal death). That person should pray for his brother who is sinning. Then God will give the brother life. I am talking about people whose sin does not lead to eternal death. There is sin that leads to death. I do not mean that a person should pray about that sin. 17 Doing wrong is always sin. But there is sin that does not lead to eternal death.
18 We know that anyone who is God’s child does not continue to sin. The Son of God keeps him safe, and the Evil One cannot hurt him. 19 We know that we belong to God. But the Evil One controls the whole world. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding. Now we can know God, the One who is true. And our lives are in that true God and in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God, and he is eternal life. 21 So, dear children, keep yourselves away from false gods.
